Call for Papers
Special Issue of Inter/Sections: the Journal of Global Communication and
Culture
MARGINALIZATION AS VIOLENCE: VOICES OUTSIDE THE MAINSTREAM
Guest Editors
Annabelle Sreberny, Ziauddin Sardar, Daya K. Thussu
Inter/Sections <http://www.muhlenberg.edu/communication/iamcr/inter> is
inviting papers and critical commentaries that address issues of violence
and marginalization and communication practices for a special double issue
in July 2002 (Summer edition). Aim of this special issue is to identify,
analyse and even provide a counter-voice, a response to dominant
communication practices and their treatment of violence. It particularly
focuses on the processes and effects of marginalization as violence and its
intersection with communication.
This is NOT another call for papers on 9-11 . However, its thematic
derives from this date, as a constructed signifier for the transformation of
discourses surrounding International Relations that is taking place with the
active involvement of Communication Media and Practices. Possible questions
that need to be addressed are those of power and communication,
legitimisation of specific forms of violence (i.e. the rhetoric of war on
terrorism ) and the marginalization of others (violence against women and
violation of women s human rights as a domestic/private affair before
9-11 ), marginalization and silencing as violence, the silencing of voices
in defence of civil society and civil rights, the impact of other voices,
such as women s and women s organisations voices, anti-war and other
opposing to war movements, critical intellectuals and academics, the
possible relation between the construction of public sphere(s) and
mainstream(s), corporate interests in the construction of specific
communication environments legitimising/silencing violence and spaces for
development and configuration of others (nations,
philosophical/ideological positions, religion etc). We are interested in
papers and other pieces that examine the historicity of the aforementioned
areas and integrate in their analysis the complexity of interrelated social,
political, cultural, economic and symbolic realities.
Due to the relatively restricted timeframe (absolute deadline for the
submission of completed papers and critical commentaries March 30, 2002) it
would be advisable that contributors send a short paragraph of 150 words
describing their paper to Katharine Sarikakis
<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by January 30, 2002. Please use the
same email address, if you would like to discuss your proposal with the
Editors.
We are particularly interested in receiving contributions from junior
scholars (doctoral candidates, postdoctoral research fellows and newly
appointed faculty).
Papers should not exceed 5000 words and should be sent to all three guest
editors ( [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> ; [log in to unmask]
<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ; [log in to unmask]
<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ) and to [log in to unmask]
<mailto:[log in to unmask]> .
Critical commentaries should be of 2000 words max. and should be sent to
Shaun Hides [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> .
Please follow the journal style guidelines (to be found at
www.muhlenberg.edu/communication/iamcr/inter).
